Juventus 1-0 Roma Serie A Match Results and Highlights (Juventus equal record with victory over Roma)

DBliss Media
Gonzalo Higuain's goal was his 13th in all competitions this season
Gonzalo Higuain's superb first-half strike ensured a record-equalling victory for Juventus that extends their lead over Roma at the top of Serie A.

Higuain, 29, lashed home from 18 yards to secure Juve's 25th-straight home league win - matching a record they set between August 2013 and November 2014.

Juve now lead Roma by seven points after 17 games, to stay on course for a sixth-straight Serie A title triumph.

Match Highlights


Roma have now lost on their past six league visits to Juventus.

The Argentina forward's 10th league goal of the season, and third in two games, arrived in the 14th minute when he outmuscled Daniele de Rossi and ghosted past Kostas Manolas before hitting an unstoppable strike beyond Wojciech Szczesny.

Also on Saturday, third-placed AC Milan were held to a goalless draw at home to Atalanta, while Empoli pulled five points clear of the relegation zone with a 2-0 win over Cagliari.

Napoli 3-0 Inter Milan Match Results & Highlights (Napoli net early to dismiss Inter)

Napoli rediscovered their scoring touch as they brushed aside Inter Milan 3-0 at San Paolo
Napoli rediscovered their scoring touch as they brushed aside Inter Milan 3-0, sending their opponents' new coach Stefano Pioli back to the drawing-board.

The result was never in doubt after Piotr Zielinski and Marek Hamsek put Napoli 2-0 ahead after six minutes. Lorenzo Insigne completed the scoring early in the second half.

It was by far Napoli's best performance since striker Arkadiusz Milik suffered a long-term knee injury while playing for Poland in early October.


Match Highlights 





Inter had given Pioli his first win in three games as coach when they beat Fiorentina 4-2 on Monday but were quickly sent back into crisis mode.


Zielinski (No 20) scored inside the first minute to set Napoli en route to victory over Inter

Napoli's win took them into sixth place with 28 points, five behind leaders Juventus. Inter are eighth with 21.

Inter scored three goals in the first 19 minutes against Fiorentina on Monday but found themselves on the wrong end of a similar start by Napoli.

The hosts went ahead in the first minute when a flowing move ended with Hamsik chipping the ball to Jose Callejon, who knocked it down for Zielinski to volley in from 12 metres.


Lorenzo Insigne completed the scoring to send Stefano Pioli back to the drawing-board
Four minutes later, Hamsik broke clear of the Inter defence and placed his shot wide of Inter goalkeeper Samir Handanovic.

Napoli were playing some flowing football and threatened to add a third against shell-shocked opponents.

Although Inter enjoyed more possession in the second half, Napoli scored again in the 51st minute when Insigne volleyed in a loose ball.

Genoa 3-1 Juventus Serie A Match Results & Highlights (Simeone stars as Genoa beat leaders Juve)

Giovanni Simeone has scored four goals in 11 games since joining Genoa this summer

Giovanni Simeone scored two early goals as mid-table Genoa stunned Serie A leaders Juventus.

Juve were wretched in the first half and trailed 3-0 inside 29 minutes.

Simeone, son of Atletico Madrid boss Diego, turned in a third-minute opener after Gianluigi Buffon's triple save and headed home his second. Alex Sandro's own goal sealed the game.

Serie A Table

Juve ended with 10 men because of an injury to Dani Alves, before Miralem Pjanic struck a consolation free-kick.


Match Highlights

Juventus have day to forget


Leonardo Bonucci went off injured after half an hour, with Alves going off after all their three changes had been made
Alves, who was later diagnosed with a broken leg, was forced off after fellow defender Leonardo Bonucci suffered a game-ending injury in the first half, making a bad day even worse for the Italian champions.

They were awful at the back in the first half and could have trailed by more than three goals.

They were marginally better after the break, bringing £75m striker Gonzalo Higuain off the bench, but never looked like mounting a comeback despite Pjanic's late goal.

Juve, chasing a sixth consecutive title, have now lost three Serie A games, as many as they did in 2014-15 and more than in their successful campaigns of 2011-12 and 2013-14.

They are four points above second-placed AC Milan.

It was the first time Juventus had conceded three goals in the first half of a Serie A game since 2004, when they lost 4-3 to Lecce.

Simeone Jr makes the headlines

Simeone, 21, doubled his Serie A goals tally in the opening quarter of an hour.

After arriving in the summer from River Plate, the Madrid-born Argentina Under-20 international had scored twice in his first 10 Serie A games.

And he was the star of Genoa's famous win, scoring from six yards out after Buffon had parried his first effort and then heading their second.

He briefly thought he had a 30-minute hat-trick when he lashed home after Sandro cleared the ball, but the ball had narrowly crossed the line following Luca Rigoni's shot.

Genoa had fewer chances in the second half, but Buffon did deny Simeone a third with a good save.

Juventus 2-1 Napoli Match Highlight (Juve's higuain sinks his old club Napoli)


Jose Callejon had brought the visitors back into the game after Leonardo Bonucci's opener, but the Argentine was on target for a fairytale finish against his old employers.

Gonzalo Higuain scored the winner against former club Napoli as Juventus strengthened their grip at the top of Serie A with a 2-1 win at the Juventus Stadium.

Leonardo Bonucci had given the hosts the lead early in the second half before Jose Callejon swiftly levelled for the visitors, volleying home his seventh league goal of the season from close range.

But on 70 minutes it was Higuain who took centre stage, driving a low shot into the bottom right corner to snap a four-match goal drought and further justify the €90million Juventus paid Napoli to secure his services.

Having shared a pre-match embrace with Napoli boss Maurizio Sarri, the Argentine was careful not to celebrate his goal, instead waving away his team-mates and walking back to the centre circle.

MATCH HIGHLIGHT



Massimiliano Allegri's men had crushed Sampdoria in midweek, but they were forced to work far harder to down the third-placed visitors and secure a sixth straight home league win.

Sarri's side had looked capable of ending a run of five successive away defeats against the Turin club, but were ultimately unable to force their way back into the game for a second time.

The first half gradually improved following a decidedly cagey opening, with Stephan Lichtsteiner wasting the home side's first opportunity when he blazed wildly over after Pepe Reina had only managed to parry Alex Sandro's deep cross from the left.

Higuain scored a record 36 Serie A goals for Napoli last season
And five minutes later it was Juventus who threatened again, this time Vlad Chiriches producing a perfectly timed challenge to block Higuain, who had latched on to Sami Khedira's fine ball into the box. 

Napoli, whose fans were banned from attending in a bid to keep the peace, also mustered two efforts of note during the opening period, Allan drilling a low shot straight at Gianlugi Buffon from the edge of the box and Faouzi Ghoulam then curling a 25-yard free-kick over the bar.

In contrast to the first half, the second exploded into life almost immediately, with two goals arriving in the opening nine minutes.

The first was claimed by Bonucci, who reacted quickest to Ghoulam's sliced clearance as it looped back into the box and rifled a shot into the roof of the net from 12 yards out.

But Napoli hit back just four minutes later as Callejon timed his run perfectly to meet Lorenzo Insigne's chipped throughball and calmly volley past Buffon.

At that stage, the visitors looked set to claim a valuable point, but ultimately it was to be Higuain and Juventus' night - the striker almost destined to have the final say following his acrimonious Napoli exit.

The only negative for the hosts was the loss of influential defender Giorgio Chiellini, who limped from the fray with what looked like a hamstring injury just before half-time.

Fiorentina 0-0 AC Milan Highlights (Josip Ilicic misses penalty and it ends in a draw) #FiorentinaMilan

Josip Ilicic's first-half penalty hit the post as Fiorentina played out a 0-0 draw with AC Milan

Josip Ilicic missed a first-half penalty as Fiorentina were held to a goalless draw by AC Milan, who were indebted to goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma at the Artemio Franchi Stadium.

Slovenia international Ilicic hit the post with his spot-kick midway through the first period, while an inspired display by Donnarumma kept the home side at bay.

Vincenzo Montella's Milan, winners of their previous two matches, remain sixth in the Serie A table, but can count themselves lucky against Fiorentina, who have now kept four clean sheets in six games this season.
 ...
Serie A Table  ...
Match Highlights:

Milan striker M'Baye Niang blazed one shot off target and went closer a minute later with another effort that flashed wide before Fiorentina were awarded a penalty.

Milan defender David Calabria received a yellow card for his foul on Borja Valero, but Ilicic's left-footed spot-kick hit the post in the 23rd minute.

Ilicic went close with an effort from outside the area after being teed up by Nenad Tomovic before the break, but the first half ended goalless.

Fiorentina began the second period on the front foot. Valero forced a fine low save from Donnarumma and both he and Federico Bernardeschi were just off target with further efforts.

Donnarumma denied Fiorentina on numerous occasions in the second half, keeping out two low shots from Nikola Kalinic and pulling off a similar low save to turn away Valero's strike as the home side searched for the breakthrough.

Milan striker Carlos Bacca was inches away from snatching his side the lead with a shot from inside the area in the 83rd minute, but that would have been rough justice.

Inter Milan1-1 Bologna Highlights (Ivan Perisic netted Inter Milan's equaliser) #InterBologna

Inter Milan had to be content with a point against Bologna after a fine volley from Ivan Perisic saw them recover to draw 1-1 at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.

Frank de Boer's side were chasing a fourth successive Serie A victory, but found themselves behind after 14 minutes when Mattia Destro scored against his former club.

However, Perisic produced a superb finish on 37 minutes to level things up before half-time.

Inter, though, were unable to conjure a winner with defender Andrea Ranocchia heading a great chance wide in stoppage time, and so could not close up the gap on leaders Juventus, whom they now trail by four points.
 ...
Serie A Table  ...
Match Highlights:
De Boer had been forced to change a winning side, with defenders Miranda and Jeison Murillo out through injury.

The Rossoblu took an early lead when Inter midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia was caught in possession and Simone Verdi set up Destro, the former Inter youth team player, for his third goal of the new season.

On the half-hour, de Boer made a tactical switch when Assane Gnoukouri replaced Geoffrey Kondogbia.

Inter equalised as Croatian Perisic crashed an angled volley into the bottom corner after the ball was floated across the Bologna penalty area by Antonio Candreva.

The Nerazzurri continued to press, but Bologna were dangerous on the counter attack with Verdi and Blerim Dzemaili both having chances.

In stoppage time, Perisic looked to have set up Ranocchia for the winner, but the defender sent his free header wide.

Palermo 0-1 Juventus Match Highlights (Goldaniga own goal gifts visitors win) #PalermoJuve



Massimiliano Allegri's champions picked up all three points in Sicily and were rarely troubled by the hosts who have now lost their first three home games of the season

Juventus consolidated their position at the top of Serie A as an own goal from Edoardo Goldaniga secured a 1-0 win at Palermo.

Mario Mandzukic, Miralem Pjanic and Gonzalo Higuain had all gone close for Massimiliano Allegri's men before Goldaniga deflected Dani Alves' long-range strike into his own net early in the second half.

Match Highlights



The visitors thus secured a ninth successive league victory over the Sicilian side, who have failed to score a single goal during a run of defeats that dates back to 2011.

Roberto De Zerbi's side did little to suggest that they could build upon their surprise midweek win at Atalanta, rarely troubling a Juventus defence that remained impressively resolute throughout.

The result marked the first time in their history that Palermo have lost their first three home games of the season and leaves them languishing in the lower reaches of the table.

The Turin side, meanwhile, will head into Tuesday's Champions League clash against Dynamo Zagreb in confident mood after a commanding display at the atmospheric Stadio Renzo Barbera.

Juventus wasted no time in making their attacking intentions clear, Higuain firing over after being picked out by Pjanic with just 12 seconds on the clock.

Three yellow cards then followed in quick succession, with Goldaniga and Juventus duo Leonardo Bonucci and Mandzukic all going into the book as the contest became increasingly fractious.

The league leaders continued to look the more likely as the half wore on, with Pjanic their main creative force.

It was his corner that picked out the unmarked Mandzukic who headed wastefully over after 12 minutes and the Bosnian midfielder also supplied the long ball that sent Higuain in on goal, only for home goalkeeper Josip Posavec to snuff out the danger by diving bravely at the striker's feet.

Posavec was again called into action in the 33rd minute, this time palming away Mario Lemina's angled strike, and he was also equal to Pjanic's weakly struck shot on the stroke of half-time.

In contrast to the visitors, Palermo struggled to find any attacking fluency, with Haitam Aleesami driving their only meaningful effort of the first half straight at Gianluigi Buffon.

Juventus started the second half as brightly as they had the first and hit the front after 49 minutes, albeit in fortuitous circumstances.

Posavec looked to have Alves' speculative long-range strike well covered until it struck the luckless Goldaniga and flew into the opposite corner of the net. 

The hosts struggled to muster much in terms a response to that setback and in fact could have fallen further behind just after the hour-mark when Posavec was forced to tip over a thumping volley from Mandzukic.

And three minutes later the two Croatians went head-to-head again with the same result as Posavec pulled off another fine save to prevent his compatriot from making the game safe for his side.

Palermo did mount some concerted pressure in the final quarter, but failed to seriously trouble Buffon as the visitors secured their fifth league win of the season.

Internazionale 2-1 Juventus Highlights (Inter fight back to beat champions )

Before Ivan Perisic's winning goal, Mauro Icardi was the only player to score in Serie A for Inter Milan this season
Inter Milan came from behind to beat Juventus in an exciting derby d'Italia.

Stephan Lichtsteiner gave the visitors the lead after the break when he tapped home a low cross from Alex Sandro.

However, Mauro Icardi equalised for the hosts just two minutes later with a header from a corner.

Substitute Ivan Perisic headed Inter in front after fine work from Icardi, and Juve - with Gonzalo Higuain on from the bench - could not find an equaliser, despite Ever Banega's late red card.

...
Serie A Table 
The result was only Juve's second Serie A defeat since they lost 1-0 to Sassuolo on 28 October, 2015. The loss means the champions slip to second, behind Napoli, while Inter move up to sixth.

Joe Hart makes mistake as Torino debut ends in defeat

Hart was comfortably beaten from the penalty spot
England keeper Joe Hart made a mistake to concede an equalising goal and was then beaten by a penalty as his Torino debut ended in defeat at Atalanta.

Hart, on loan to the Italian club from Manchester City, failed to deal with a corner as he palmed the ball to Andrea Masiello to slot home for the hosts.

The 29-year-old was then beaten by Franck Kessie's late spot-kick as Atalanta fought back to win 2-1.

It was their first Serie A victory of the season and Torino's second loss.

Baptism of fire for 'John Hart'

It was not the beginning to his Serie A career Hart would have wanted after being allowed to leave Etihad Stadium by new City manager Pep Guardiola.


Hart's Torino are 12th in Serie A after three games
His afternoon started badly when Torino got his name wrong on the the team sheet.

Things picked up when his team went in front through a well-struck Iago Falque free-kick eight minutes into the second half.

Up to that point, it had been a virtual watching brief for Hart, bar one smart low block in the first half.

But things went downhill just two minutes later when he tried to intercept a corner but failed to reach the ball properly and was left stranded as Masiello made it 1-1.

Hart had a chance to make amends when Atalanta were awarded a late penalty, but Kessie sent him the wrong way from the spot to earn the hosts their first points of the season.
Bad weekend for City stoppers

Hart's City career was ended - for now at least - by Guardiola replacing him for the opening three Premier League games with Willy Caballero before signing of Claudio Bravo from Barcelona.

Chile international Bravo made his City debut in Saturday's 2-1 derby win over Manchester United at Old Trafford - but the 33-year-old produced a far from convincing performance.

However, Hart was unable to give critics of Guardiola's decision to let him leave further ammunition at the start of his season-long stay in Italy.

He, and Torino, will hope things get better, starting with a home fixture against Empoli next Sunday (14:00 BST kick-off).

Gonzalo Higuain Double Puts Juventus Top Of Serie A


Gonzalo Higuain has scored three goals in his first three Serie A games for Juventus
Gonzalo Higuain scored two goals in six minutes as defending champions Juventus returned to the top of Serie A with victory over Sassuolo.

Argentina striker Higuain's clinical low shot into the bottom corner set the hosts on their way.

He made it three goals in three league games since joining in July for £75m from Napoli with a volley.

Miralem Pjanic, a £25m signing from Roma, headed home on his debut before Sassuolo's Luca Antei pulled one back.

Juventus, who start their Champions League campaign at home to Sevilla on Wednesday, have taken nine points from their first three league games, while defeat was Sassuolo's first of the season.

Massimiliano Allegri's Juventus are three points clear of Genoa and Sampdoria, both of whom play on Sunday.
